I received some Isaly's chopped ham BBQ sauce from Shtrdave in the last exchange. I did a little research on the Internet. From what I can tell, this is a dish unique to the Pittsburgh Pennsylvania area. Here is the article I used: http://www.mysteryloverskitche...to-make-bbq.html?m=1
I bought a cheap ham at the grocery store, had the butcher slice it so thin that it becomes very feathery and is not whole slices but "chipped".
I fried it in a skillet, to brown it, then added the barbecue sauce. I served this on warm Kaiser onion rolls.
Results: it was good, and something I had never had before. This particular sauce is a little sweet and ketchupy. Some slivers of dill pickle on top would have helped cut the sweet. The article had recommended dill pickle, but I happened to be out.
Thanks Shtrdave for turning me on to something new and unique to your area. On a sidenote, I also made pancakes this weekend using the maple syrup that you also gave me in the exchange.
For those who haven't participated in the BBQ exchange before, you should consider giving it a try next time it comes around.

Had it last weekend. The sauce and rub exchange is always fun. It's great to see what other fine cooks use around the country. Can't wait till the next one.
